First, name each thread (one per story (for the longer ones), or one per series (for the shorter ones, like poems)) with the title of the story (ie., "The Great Adventure"), the rating (G, for general, T, for teenager, and R, for restricted/mature), and why it is rated so (violence, language, alcohol consumption are all examples; nudity/sexuality is not permitted). In all, the title of your thread should look like so:
Quote:

The Great Adventure, T: some violence, some drinking

Note: It does not have to be in that order.
Also Note: If something is rated "E" or "G/PG" it does not need a rating explanation. A simple "E" would do.

As for amounts of threads, please keep them to a minimum. Most poems are on the shorter side, and do not need an entire thread for each. So you can condense the subject matter into a single thread, and simply keep replying with more poems. This also works for short stories, and long stories as well (by, for example, replying with the next chapter). Even very long poems should not take up an entire thread.

All stories are available to comments. Please do not be rude, but rather helpful, in critiquing one's poem, story, etc. And not every thread has to be just a showcase; you can post an idea strictly on the intention of getting ideas to further the story from other members.
